Summary

Custom Fire Apparatus, Inc. is recalling certain 2002-2019 Pumpers, Tankers and Rescue vehicles built on a Spartan Motors chassis. The service brake air reservoir system may not be pressure protected where the control line for the automatic tire chain system is connected.

Consequence

If the control line is cut, the service brake air system may suddenly lose air, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Spartan will notify Custom Fire owners. Dealers will inspect the routing of the control lines, rerouting them into the auxiliary air reservoir as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 15, 2019. Owners may contact Custom Fire customer service at 1-715-294-2555. Custom Fire's number for this recall is 19V674.
